I was sick most of Christmas break. Not fun at all. I started coughing on Christmas Eve and then 2 days of being away from home with little sleep pushed me into a full blown cold. Luckily it was just a respiratory thing. Coughing and a runny nose- not anything with my stomach. It just drained me of energy and I had a very difficult time sleeping b/c I was coughing so much. It hung on for 2+ weeks, but luckily I am finally starting to get over it. My OB said it takes twice as long to get over an illness when you are pregnant. As long as I'm not sick when I deliver I suppose it's ok! I had a terrible dream one night that my water was broken and I woke up terrified! Luckily it was just from me sweating :-)
I noticed about 2-3 weeks ago that it's getting much harder to wipe after I pee! My arm has to go around my belly to get there and it need to be just a smidge longer. I'm really not as big as I thought I'd be at this point though. I thought I'd have a huge tummy, but it really doesn't stick out that far especially with my boobs concealing it a little.
Since I was sick over break I didn't get much of the baby related stuff done that I wanted to. I feel pretty unprepared for baby's arrival- especially with only 5 weeks left! I have a shower this weekend so hopefully after this I will be able to finish getting all the stuffy we need and finally be ready to go. I had been putting off buying too much stuff to wait and see what we got at the shower. There is just so much stuff to get for a little one!
I've been having increased heartburn lately, especially at night while I'm sleeping. It will actually be bad enough that I wake up in the middle of the night and have to take Tums. Luckily Tums will suppress it, so it's only bad for a short time. I'm also feeling a lot more tired, but I'm not sure if that's totally due to the pg, or also due to the cold. I'd say in general this past week or so I've started feeling heavier. Like my body is just tired of supporting the extra weight. I suppose carting around 24 extra pounds will tire you out more!
